Book Reviews of Building a WordPress Blog People Want to Read

Book Review: Title is misleading, this book is about how to setup a blog, not readership
Summary: 2 Stars

I was disappointed to find this book had NOTHING to do with how to build a blog people want to read. Instead it's a basic introductory on how to setup your first WordPress blog online. Good if you want to know how to setup your first self-hosted WordPress blog, but bad if you already have a blog and want more information on how build it into one "people want to read".

Summary of Building a WordPress Blog People Want to Read

Having your own blog isn't just for the nerdy anymore. Today, it seems everyone-from multinational corporations to a neighbor up the street-has a blog. They all have one, in part, because the folks at WordPress make it easy to get one. but to actually build a good blog-to create a blog people want to read-takes thought, planning, and some effort. From picking a theme and using tags to choosing widgets and building a community, creating your blog really starts after you set it up. In this book by blogger extraordinaire Scott McNulty, you learn how to:

  • Install and get your WordPress blog running.
  • Set up your site to ensure it can easily grow with you and your readers.
  • Be the master of user accounts.
  • Manage your site with the WordPress Dashboard and extend its capabilities with plug-ins.
  • Make the most of images.
  • Work with pages, templates, and links and-of course-publish your posts.
  • Deal with comments-if you even want readers commenting at all.
  • Find a theme-or build one yourself.
  • Maintain your site and fix common problems.
